OpenVPN connected but cannot browse
i have setup openVPN on AWS using the AWS marketplace AMI. I am on a MAC , i am able to connect to the VPN but after connecting I cannot browse anything.
I tried to Ping 8.8.8.8
this also stops as soon as the VPN connects. After connecting i am only able to access the VPN server from the browser.
Please suggest what could be the reason.

You will most likely have to add more information about your configuration for anyone to help you.

I actually did not do any manual configuration on AWS, i just installed via the AMI given , SSH to AWS , then accept the defaults. Setup default password for OpenVPN , then logged in from the UI by typing IP in Browser. Downloaded the config file from UI and connected.
